As the world prepares to welcome a new James Bond, it’s worth remembering that the job isn’t without its drawbacks. In addition to the frenzied attention that actors cast as Bond attract, they also find themselves typecast for the first few years of their stints. It’s only after they retire from the role that their experiments are appreciated. Daniel Craig was embraced as Benoit Blanc in the Knives Out movies after playing a similarly over-the-top character in Steven Soderbergh’s Logan Lucky. His three other attempts to headline a potential franchise-starter — The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Golden Compass, and Cowboys & Aliens — didn’t work out. His indie project, Kings, grossed less than $1 million and received a 10% score on Rotten Tomatoes. But one of his earliest non-007 movies released during his tenure as Bond is currently available for fans in the United States to discover on Paramount+.
